Refrigerator Operation

The refrigerator will not operate

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.

WARNING

■

Power cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

■

Is outlet working? Plug in a lamp to see if the outlet

is working.

■

Household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? Replace

the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. If the problem continues,

call an electrician.

■

Are controls on? Make sure the refrigerator controls are on.

See “Using the Controls.”

■

Is refrigerator defrosting? Your refrigerator will regularly run

an automatic defrost cycle. Recheck in 30 minutes to see if it

is operating.

■

New installation? Allow 24 hours following installation for the

refrigerator to cool completely.

NOTE: Adjusting the temperature controls to coldest setting

will not cool either compartment more quickly.

The motor seems to run too much

Your new refrigerator may run longer than your old one due to

its high-efficiency compressor and fans. The unit may run even

longer if the room is warm, a large food load is added, doors are

opened often, or if the doors have been left open.

The refrigerator is noisy

Refrigerator noise has been reduced over the years. Due to

this reduction, you may hear intermittent noises from your new

refrigerator that you did not notice from your old model. Below

are listed some normal sounds with an explanation.

■

Buzzing - heard when the water valve opens to fill the ice

maker

■

Pulsating - fans/compressor adjusting to optimize

performance

■

Rattling - flow of refrigerant, water line, or from items placed

on top of the refrigerator

■

Sizzling/Gurgling - water dripping on the heater during

defrost cycle

■

Popping - contraction/expansion of inside walls, especially

during initial cool-down

■

Water running - may be heard when water melts during the

defrost cycle and runs into the drain pan

■

Creaking/Cracking - occurs as ice is being ejected from the

ice maker mold.

There is no audible door open alarm

Has the door been open less than 10 minutes? The door open

alarm will only flash when the door has been open for 10 minutes.

The audible alarm will sound the first time the door is left open

for more than 10 minutes. Subsequent door open alarms will only

flash. You must reset the audible alarm each time. See “Using the

Control(s).”

The doors will not close completely

■

Door blocked open? Move food packages away from door.

■

Bin or shelf in the way? Push bin or shelf back in the

correct position.

If You Choose To Turn the Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.
2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■

Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one day

ahead of time.

■

When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm

to the OFF (up) position.

3. Depending on your model, turn the Thermostat Control (or

Refrigerator Control) to OFF. See “Using the Controls.”

4. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
5. Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop

them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and

mold from building up.
